Covering contraception is just like Pearl Harbor & 9-11

Normally I’d mock this. But the idiot who said it didn’t leave much room for comedy or satire:

TPM — “I know in your mind you can think of times when America was attacked. One is December 7th, that’s Pearl Harbor day. The other is September 11th, and that’s the day of the terrorist attack,” Kelly said, according to NBC. “I want you to remember August the 1st, 2012, the attack on our religious freedom. That is a day that will live in infamy, along with those other dates.”

Weird. I remember 9/11 exceptionally well (despite having waked and baked that day and living in an entirely different country), without having some knob tell me to do so.

I guess that’s thing about days that live on in infamy. They’re infamous. No PR campaign needed.”

the report I heard talked about the day being ‘the beginning of the end of religious liberty’. You can almost picture them sulking off with a sad sad face, and a ‘what’s the point of living anymore’ shrug like the robot creature in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Hilarious really.
